The purpose of this study was to evaluate bone healing in calvarial defects using two bone graft substitute materials; biphasic beta-tricalcium phosphate/hydroxyapatite in hydrogel (ß-TCP/HA) versus composite non-demineralized xenogenic dentin with ß-TCP/HA mixture. Full thickness critical-sized defects were created bilaterally in 10 New Zealand male rabbits. Seven defects were left empty, six filled with biphasic tricalcium phosphate putty, and seven were filled with composite non-demineralized xenogenic dentin with biphasic tricalcium phosphate. Animals were sacrificed at eight weeks postoperatively and the healing of the biomaterial-filled defects was compared radiographically and by histomorphometry. Micro-computed tomography (μCT) was utilized to analyze the osteogenesis and healing patterns of the defects. Quantitative analysis of volume fraction (%) of the newly formed bone and remaining graft material (FV=filling volume/TV=tissue volume) and mean intensity [HU] in the defects were evaluated. Defects filled with composite dentin with biphasic tri-calcium phosphate showed volume fraction (FV/TV) in the order of 55.81% ± 17.72%, whereas defects filled with only biphasic tricalcium phosphate showed a fraction of 39.84% ± 16.06%, which represent the ratio of remaining graft material and new bone formation to the tissue volume. The empty negative control defects showed a volume fraction of 19.14% ± 8.787%. Histological analysis showed significant percentage increase in bone formation and residual graft with the composite Dentin/ß-TCP group after 8 weeks. The findings suggest that composite xenogenic dentin with biphasic tricalcium phosphate showed improved osteogenesis when compared to biphasic tricalcium phosphate without the addition of non-demineralized dentin. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
